WHAT THE CRITICS SAID...

"Deliciously funny songs in breathtaking harmony!
Laughter just shy of a bellyache is what you can expect,
and they will have you pink with laughter!"
- Bob Harrington, NEW YORK POST

"The Amazing Pink Things, a musical comedy quartet are truly a quartet of living dolls.
Under the musical direction of its resident songwriter, Dana Countryman, the two men
and two women perform satirical songs to taped backup music in a smoothly
harmonized style reminiscent of the Manhattan Transfer. Examples of Mr. Countryman's
satirical concepts are a chirpy gospel number, ''If You Wanna Get to Heaven,
You Gotta Come Up With the Cash,'' and the ''The Hal and Lulu Chorus''
uses Handel's ''Hallelujah Chorus'' to tell the story of
some pesky next-door neighbors. It's all very funny!"
- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES

"The Amazing Pink Things are funny, clever, bright, slick, and vocally blended. A refreshing first-rate act
rife with original material that can best be described as accessable musical satire."

- Herb Michaelson, VARIETY

Has that edge of surprise...a little nuts and really funny."

A show crammed with tasty material that shows off four talented singing actors."

The Amazing Pink Things. Hilariously choreographed send-ups,

- Don Heckman, LOS ANGELES TIMES

"Bristling with wit and wicked parody! Tight harmonies zeroeing in on
familiar targets with freshly crafted new darts!"

- Don Nelsen, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

"Magnificently outrageous costumes and brilliant musical spoofs.
A most enjoyable evening of musical fun."
